Experienced Building Contractor in Kildare
Carroll O’Keeffe & Co. Ltd is an experienced building contractor serving Kildare, delivering high quality construction projects for public and private clients across the county, the Midlands and the wider East.
The company has been building strong client relationships since 1988 from its base in Clonaslee, Co. Laois — only a short distance from the Kildare border. Over that time, Carroll O’Keeffe has developed a proven track record across commercial, residential, healthcare, education, industrial, heritage and fit-out projects.
Kildare is one of Ireland’s fastest growing counties, with strong demand for new housing, school places, commercial space and public infrastructure. From the motorway corridor towns of Naas, Newbridge and Monasterevin to Athy, Kildare town, Maynooth and Celbridge, the county needs contractors with the capacity and systems to deliver — and west Kildare is among the closest areas we serve.
Whether you are planning a new build, extension, refurbishment, fit-out, housing development, healthcare project, school building or commercial premises in Kildare, Carroll O’Keeffe can provide the construction expertise and project management support required from planning through to completion.
Construction Company for Public and Private Clients in Kildare
Construction projects in Kildare range from fast-moving residential schemes in commuter towns to commercial developments along the M7 corridor, school extensions, public sector works and refurbishments of existing and occupied buildings.
Carroll O’Keeffe works with clients, architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, M&E consultants, public bodies, developers and private organisations to deliver projects in a structured and collaborative way.
Our role as building contractor is to manage the construction process safely, efficiently and in line with the needs of the client and design team. This includes planning the works, coordinating subcontractors, managing site access, maintaining health and safety standards, monitoring quality and keeping communication clear throughout the project.
Our experience on major schemes across the Midlands — including Silverbrook, a 200 unit private development in Tullamore, and Redwood, a 106 unit residential development on Clara Road — reflects the scale and standard of work we bring to Kildare projects.
Residential, Commercial and Public Sector Construction in Kildare
Housing is at the centre of construction demand in Kildare. Carroll O’Keeffe has delivered large private developments, social housing schemes, age-friendly housing and mixed residential projects, along with the roads, drainage, utilities and site infrastructure that complete a development.
Many of our recent homes are A-rated or NZEB A2 rated, built with timber frame construction, insulated foundation systems and air-to-water heat pumps. This experience with Modern Methods of Construction is directly relevant to residential schemes across Kildare.
For commercial clients, we deliver business premises, retail outlets, offices, warehousing, trade facilities and external yard works. Kildare’s position on the M7 and M4 corridors continues to attract retail, logistics and enterprise investment, and we bring practical experience of delivering operational buildings that support day-to-day business.
We also work with public sector bodies on local authority, education and healthcare projects, with a clear understanding of public procurement, quality and safety requirements.
Healthcare & Education Projects
Carroll O’Keeffe has strong experience in healthcare construction, including Abbeyleix C.N.U, the Cuisle Centre in Portlaoise and works at the Midland Regional Hospital in Mountmellick. These projects involved sensitive healthcare environments where quality, safety, services coordination and attention to detail were essential.
In education, projects such as Emo National School, Scoil Eoin Phoil Naofa II in Ballyroan and Scoil Mhuire in Tullamore demonstrate our experience in school construction, extensions and refurbishments — experience that is directly relevant to growing school communities across Kildare, from Athy to Maynooth.

A Practical Approach to Construction in Kildare
Every construction project depends on good planning, clear communication and practical decision-making. Carroll O’Keeffe is known for a collaborative and non-adversarial approach to building, working closely with clients and design teams to keep projects moving in the right direction.
From our base in Clonaslee, west Kildare towns such as Monasterevin, Rathangan and Athy are within a short drive, with Naas, Newbridge and the north of the county easily reached via the M7. For Kildare clients, this means a contractor close enough to be on site whenever the project requires it.
Our company structure allows directors and senior team members to remain actively involved in projects. This supports better decision-making, a clear understanding of client needs and a proactive approach to solving issues on site.
For clients in Kildare, this means working with a contractor that combines local availability with the experience, systems and project management capability required for high quality construction delivery.
